Gim Allon aka Colossal Boy is a member of the Legion of Super-Heroes who can increase his size and strength to gigantic levels. Gim Allon was born on Earth to Wynn Allon and Marte Allon. He was raised in a patriotic and Jewish family.

As a young man, Gim enrolled to become a member of the Science Police. While on vacation on Mars with fellow cadet Gigi Cusimano, a strange meteor crashed into the soil near him. The meteor's radiation altered his body's molecules, giving him the power to grow to giant sizes at will.
